Thirty college basketball standouts from around the country were invited to the tryouts held this past week in Haverford, Pa., and the list was trimmed to 14 on Sunday.

The final cut was made after practice this morning.

"It feels good, it's an honor to represent not only the USA but also my school, Washington State, and also Hawai'i," Low told The Advertiser in a phone conversation this afternoon.

The USA team will practice in Washington, D.C., on Thursday and Friday and leave for Brazil on Saturday. It will begin play on July 25 against Uruguay, then will face Panama and Argentina before the medal round begins on July 28.

The Pan Am Games are held every four years; past USA team members include Michael Jordan, David Robinson and Grant Hill.

Low, a 6-foot-1 guard, was named to the All-Pac 10 Conference team and helped lead Washington State to a 26-8 record and second-round appearance in the NCAA Tournament this past season — the Cougars' best finish in 24 years.

Washington State teammate Kyle Weaver also made the Pan American Games roster.
